Q: I hope you can help. What does an independent, savvy single woman do when most of her single income is tied up in a mortgage and living costs?

Q: My aunt passed away and she left me with an inheritance. I now have $55k in the bank and don’t know what to do with it.

Do you agree and what would the next best steps be for me?
